And if you already have some skills, you can always improve them and learn new ones. If you’re a complete novice, never touched a plane or chisel, you can find a class situation that will build the skills you need to make beautiful works of wood. No matter your skill level, you can always improve. Close your eyes, start walking and you’ll likely bump into one. Woodworking schools and classes are abundant right now. Regardless of the skill level going in, every student comes out a master artisan. The year-long program hones existing skills and develops new ones galore. The students are usually fairly accomplished woodworkers when they apply (but not always). It’s been a real privilege to know every instructor and every student. I was in the right place at the right time, thirty-odd years ago, when James Krenov and his class needed better blades for the planes they make and use and was (just barely) smart enough to follow along on what has been a truly wonderful adventure. The CR FWW program launched my career as a blade maker and I couldn’t be more grateful. I hope to see you there! Bocote Plane by James Krenov ![]() I’ll be behind the bar, as usual pouring wine and opening bottles of beer. The reception will be this Friday, the seventh, and is always a great party. ![]() Hurry, though, as the show closes the ninth of this month. I know we’re off the beaten path here in Fort Bragg, California, at the end of several roads, really. Check out the comprehensive gallery of the show’s offerings posted by Kari Logwood on her blog, WoodWabbet. Yes, it’s that time of year again! Time for the College of the Redwoods Fine Woodworking Mid Winter Show and, as usual, the show is stunning. But for version 2, unfortunately, I did not decide just because of the subscription.Wall Cabinet by Henry Hewitt (photo Kari Logwood) Artisan 1, PB3, DC, BT2 and several free. I also have several Plugs from this stable. ![]() And Sketchup extensions are 90% or more such small one-person businesses, Unfortunately, it seems that the programmer either gave up this way of development or unfortunately got sick, died. And unfortunately, the developer’s website does not work, only the demo version is available, some people bought the full version and did not get serial numbers. And it can happen that suddenly there is no company anymore, there are no updates and our subscription expires… Recently I wanted to buy the 3D Tree Maker plug-in. But we must not forget that in many cases there is one man behind this “company and development department”. Everyone motivates the subscription with the possibility of development etc. I met all the agreements on my end and paid for it fair and squars. The even worse scenario is the underhanded tactics going on right now of actively working to starve out those unwilling to subscribe and running classic licenses that were paid for (and dearly i might add) fair and square. Make a product people want to pay for and yoh dont need subscriptions because they will keep coming back willingly. This notion that software companies are not able to innovate without constant inflow of subscription dollars is completely contradictory to capitalism. They could easily pass on three or four upgrades to then pay for a major upgrade (covering all the skipped) when they actually have a need. In actuality the subscription model leads to complacency due to a perceived customer base many of whom are held there captively paying for improvements that are of no use to them. These titles, since the onset of windows 3.1 were never rented and companies thrived all the while by making new or improved versions that consumers wanted or needed and were willing to pay for upgrade or a completely new piece of software that was vastly improved. ![]()
